Schiener Eliminated

Gone but not forgotten
Gone but not forgotten
It folded around to Christoph Schiener in the small blind, who announced all in for shrapnel. Big blind Jeroen Kersjes called the small change, and it was Battle Of The Rags.

Kersjes: {7-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}
Schiener: {3-Clubs} {6-Hearts}

Board: a close-but-no-cigar {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {K-Spades}

Best Hand for Bessy

Bessi Bessy, painfully short after doubling up Vladislav Bakalov, got his chips in with {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} on the button, and got himself called by Roberto Calandro holding {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts} in the small blind. No surprises from the board, and Calandro is now the shorty on 15,000.

Svensson Doubles Through Kullenberg

Simon Kullenberg, who has yet to make any kind of facial expression today as far as this blogger can see, raised to 4,200 from the button. Kristian Svensson reraised all in for 14,200 from the big blind, and Kullenberg called.

Kullenberg: {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
Svensson: {6-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

Board: {4-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {J-Clubs} {6-Hearts}

"Good enough," said Svensson, and raked in the chips.

Bakalov's Back

Beardy Bakalov

The luckless Vladislav Bakalov finally got lucky, doubling through Bessi Bessy who is down to just 10k.

Bessy: {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}
Bakalov: {A-Spades} {8-Hearts}

Board: {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {J-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}
